Periodically, there is a need to remove hardened epidermis on the heels. I use the electric pommel Scholl. Earlier there was an ordinary scraper at hand, but I constantly forgot to change it. The device cleans quickly, the skin is smooth. The price is too high, but in the end you get a quality thing that you can use for a long time.

I am a supporter of natural cosmetics and the same care products. I was attracted by Thai pumice. Feet after its use is fabulously smooth. I do not know how it will remove the strong burrs, but in my case( the average degree of neglect of the heels), this pumice does its job perfectly well. After completion of the procedure you need to soften the heels.

Over time, began to appear on the skin, the skin cracked even after applying moisturizing creams. For myself, I chose a power-saw. The roller rotates very quickly, so you can not put much pressure on the saw. In the rest I'm happy. The device coped with my problems not the first time, but in the end I still got what I wanted - perfect heels.
